No sir. I am trying and hoping to be there one day.

Oh... no wonder...
Anyway you must have a valid job offer to get qualified for a H-2B Visa...

I thought you alrdy in the States.. getting a truck driving job is easy if you are alrdy in the States.. you knly hav to go for some training exercise any tk qualify for a driving licence...

Just keep trying bro... I'm pretty sure you may be lucky someday!...

And hope you have your Nigerian licence aldry at hand

airsaylongcome:
Suprisingly, US Visa is not as hard as many people believe it is

Yea I believe its not hard...
Tho it's not like the UK with point based system...
You need to qualify to get one...

But very straightforward..
100% has worked for me and many people

wisdomkid:
Thanks alot. I've been trying to get a truck driver jobs in USA, but mehn, it's not easy and the documents required is difficult to access.

Are u in the States already?

Goodluck to everyone applying for the US visa..

lastkingsman:
Is it Al-Jagabani aka Tinubu that will make Nigeria better ? ;d

Another 4-8 yrs wasted

I don't really care who fix it oh...
But if God can just touch dia heart to do the right thing... then I guess we will all be really proud to return home someday

BreconHills:
No no no. Our reserves will need to be in the $100-120 bn range for that to happen

Hmm... okay.. thank u for the explanation

Congratulations Nsofor

If I I'm Davido.. I will borrow them around $500k and to get back $600k including interest from federal government ... after the tournament

tensazangetsu20:
See o at Gerrard59. Well goodluck to all involved. I knew all this so I didn't even bother to start the process. Just regretting the money I wasted to write the GRE then

It's not wasted nah.. ..
God go help us

BreconHills:
650-660 or thereabouts by early 2024. That's about the true value.

I think it's better... I was thinking we can getvback around 200-300

40km

grandstar:
Not possible.

Even if it drops below 500, that would mean monetary policy is tight and it would to a dramatically fall in prices, which will enable the central bank bring interest rates down.

A strong Naira won't favor government revenues much as a large chunks of their revenue is dollar denominated and that means they'd receive less Naira monthly as allocations when converted into Naira.
I must reiterate is that should the exchange rate hit N500, it would enable the CBN bring down interest rates to more affordable levels. This is something Tinubu has always yearned for.

Sorry for the questions I'm not really into economics... but do you mean if CBN work on bringing the value of exchange rates so down... it's may affect lots of personal interest leaders that are enjoying the benefits of the current elevated rates...??

tensazangetsu20:
Then people should marry o. I wonder why they all choose the hard way .

No bii by mouth you go take marry oyinbo or a balck American... you have to have a job, income ... look good and most especially they most fall in love with you to even get the chance to accept your marriage proposal... ☺️

tensazangetsu20:
True marriage is the best and surest way but even that one can't be controlled except you have funds to run it. I hear that even Nigerian born american ladies look down on Nigerian men with no papers.

Yea I guess.. not all tho.. if you single.. you can just find someone to love and marry.. it cost nothing..
but if you are already married back home... den it's a Hugh finance and you can even be denied the process

tensazangetsu20:
True I rather get another ciitzenship that allows me access to the US job market so I have something to fall back on and not come back to Nigeria in case shit hits the fan cause I can't be illegal anywhere. That one no dey. The Koko is that to even get the H1B visa sef isn't easy. According to USCIS there's more than 750k applicants for 2024 and they will only approve 85000 or thereabouts. It's crazy. By 2025 that number fit enter 1 million or more applicants. So so many people no go even smell the H1B sef.

You pretty right...
I think people will just settle for marriage and get a work permit/greencard after some years... and you know start dia life and career gradually... that's if u single

grandstar:
If the oil companies with probably billions of Dollars enter the market, it should lead fo a strengthening.

But what would really aid an appreciating is for the CBN to become hawkish regarding inflation and boost interest rates to a point where it begins to bring inflation down, perhaps hiking interest rates to 25.5% as suggested by the Bank of America.

If this is done, the Naira should strengthen to between 650-700.

650-700?
It's currently around 760..

I thought it may drop below 500

tensazangetsu20:
I swear I love that country and wanted migrating through studies route but after reading everything I just weak. Omho na very big gamble wey no fit favour you o. Then the dreaded H1B wey you fit no get and even If you get and you get laid off na wahala. You also can't leave while on H1B cause if you get laid off you can't even enter the country.

Some have been laid of with H1B visas
Tho Canada has lunched new Tech immigration routes for H1B visas holder in Tech to easily migrate to Canada and get a Tech job....

Yankee na big country, but the immigration path way is not straightforward like the Canada.

Hmmm.. do you guys think with unified exchange rate and naira devaluation policy the Dollar will come down before the end of the year?

Raalsalghul:
Really?

So in the U.S.A, you can only work in the universities as an international student?

And your dependent can't even work...

Gerrard59:
Well, the truth is many will return if home is relatively OK. Ghana wey for try fix up and attract such people has a messed up economy. Kenya is neither here nor there. South Africa has its own issues. At least, make the economy work. Most people will just face their lives. But when the economy isn't working, many will prefer to reside with racists in prosperous places than live with tribalists and xenophobes in poor environments. Economics over emotions.

You are right... many people here are really not happy enough with dere lives because all they do is work work just to meet up with bills and expenses...

Nigeria is a great nation seriously... if everyone get minimum wages of about 250k or 300k with cheap foods... I'm pretty sure Japa won't be a thing of necessity... most people will only travel for vacation

Mille:
My takeaway is that Nigerians should know that everything is relative. The UK will either be an upgrade or a downgrade depending on the person's living condition in Nigeria before relocating.

For someone who was balling in Nigeria or comfortable before relocating, the UK will be a massive downgrade if they are stuck in blue collar jobs. It will be a very big upgrade for someone who was unemployed or managing a 200k salary in Nigeria.

I did DHL and GLS sorting job while studying in Germany. And after studying, I couldn't get a professional job except an Amazon warehouse job that pays over €2k. Now the money was good but I was unfulfilled and a bit depressed because I feel I am above that level. I looked around me and quite a lot of people similar to me were stuck in these minimum wage jobs. Infact, my feeling as a black African was more like Germany only considers us for blue collar jobs. The ones who don't want to do manual jobs end up having to do a PhD. I then decided Germany as at then was not for me.

I explored the UK and visited Manchester where many of my family lives in. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't connect to the middle-class Africans. Many of my family members were doing care or factory work so I got discouraged and binned the UK. Got a remote job that pays a bit less than Amazon and returned home to Nigeria.

I'll disagree with the notion that Nigerians in UK are suffering. But I just feel a lot of them are professionally unfulfilled.

I intend to go back abroad and return. But my anthem is simple; " I WILL NEVER DO MANUAL or MINIMUM WAGE JOBS. Wherever I go, I don't want to be in the lower rungs of the society I live in

The US remains the best choice for any professional willing to relocate abroad.

The truth is, it's the same everywhere .. the white color job is now Man know Man... it's not really easy to get that position .. unless you are super skilful in a particular area...

With the way things are allover the world... if Nigeria and the government get the opportunity to make things easier with the economy, inflation and security... I'm seeing lots of Japada in the future...

Purvan:
My oneitis/limerant has no social media presence that I can find. No FB, no IG, no Twitter, no Tiktok.
She's early Gen Z. What does this mean? Is she using a pseudonym? Does she have a robust and meaningful social life without social media? Someone help me figure this out.
She is very fair skinned and beautiful.

I think most girls like that hav social account where they only visit for social activities... they don't post, they don't like... they have account with unknow username, they don't even upload dia pictures on this accounts...

Two of my friends are just like this... they are online and active... butt you can never identify there social account...

Advice.. approach her and request for a handle... if she doesn't drop it... forget abt it

KingEzo:
Please Sir/Ma, is 5 millions Naira enough for me to do my masters degree in Canada?

10m upwards

airprince:
Evening everyone, I’m a young guy of about 22 and i graduated in 2021 from Delsu, after which I traveled to Cape Town last year and got a 3 years residency permit but I’m currently in Nigeria because the rent was too high and I wasn’t doing anything other than staying at home daily and money wasn’t coming in anymore like it used to so I went back to Nigeria.

Now I’m trying to figure out if it’s best I travel to Canada to further my studies basically work and study or stay back home here in Nigeria and start an extensive agricultural project; livestock’s & poultry(I’ve lands for that already)

Guys pls help me out I’m just so confused I just sit at home everyday doing nothing while I’m waiting for this Nysc letter it’s so boring.

Let me quickly advice you...
Travelling to Canada is a very good idea... and it will really favour you...

But now, I want you to dedicate at least 7 months in learning a digital skills... when you are done! Then start working on your movements...

The only way to quickly achieve something big in Canada is when you have in demand skills...

Good luck bro

Zubby2005:
Hello y'all;
I've dedicated my time to show my progress of how I'll transform my 12×12 room to a paradise within a span of 1 month with costs included.
Firstly, I'll start with the painting.
My room have former paint coating on it which most of it are peeling off so I went with the idea of screeding it before painting.
The paint is light gray satin which cost half bucket for 20k at a local shop(produced there too)
Below are the images of before any work was being done

You are doing well

Whats the color for the wall?
and are you going to remove that fan for the pop?
Can you create sperate bath and toilet in that room?... make everything balance and private

Yea... and some part belongs to my dad too

God will not abandon is own people

Malory:
Brand names. Just like milo and bournvita.

Which is your favourite

carl90:
Semovita is a brand name.
Like Golden Penny Semovita is made of semolina.
What is semolina?
Semolina is like a flour made from durum wheat.
It's like Panadol is a brand name that contains the active compound called paracetamol.

Thanks... why do people prefer Semovita over semolina?

Mayor should remove the rope from the croc mouth.. while he kiss the bride...i want to quickly see something 🫣

Probably her body type

Some ladies into constant seex sometimes hav standing boobs..

Whqts the difference between Semolina and Semovita?
